Clippers Vs. Knicks Official Game Thread 2014-01-17 (P. 7)

Great win. Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen were praising the Clips all throughout the 3rd and 4th quarters. Blake's developing game, DJ's commitment to defense, Jamal's 4th quarter brilliance, the overall team D, even Hedo Turkoglu got a shout out when JVG wondered why no one had signed him until now, haha!

Let's hope for a good match tomorrow against Indy!

Not sure, but through the first 41 games we have exactly the same % as we finished with last year. I think we'll get better.

I expect us to put up a fight, but wouldn't be all that disappointed to lose. We've played very well in the 6 1/2 games since Paul went down. Wouldn't be terribly disappointed to lose to a top 5 team.

I just don't see us winning against the Pacers at Indy. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer but the Pacers are just too good.

I won't be disheartened if we lose and neither should the Clips.

I don't think they're unbeatable, but without Paul on the second night of a b2b... The deck is stacked against us

Didn't see the first half, but doesn't look like i missed out on much. That was a great 4th quarter. Clippers looking like they know how to close games now. Back to back runs in the 4th quarter, although one was to come back, and tonight was to blow out, it was the same defensive effort and refine offensive possessions. I'm Lovin' it!!!

We can win in Indy... need to force turnovers (their biggest weakness) and Blake has to be decisive and quick. West is too strong to back down, so he'll need to use his speed.

I know it's unlikely, but I have a feeling we'll surprise people tomorrow. The Clippers will be looking to prove themselves on the road and every team, no matter how good they are, including the Pacers, drop games they "should" win.

Great win for the Clips tonight. Loved that it ended up as a blowout. I'm watching the replay now, lol, and feeling quite content. Clippers' second half defense was so much better. That was the key, along with Blake's dominance and Jamal's timely shots, plus DJ's boards. Good to see Hedo too. He didn't look rusty and it was nice to see his shot go in.

He didn't look broken down... Doc worked him out and then signed him til end of the year, that's enough for me.

Clippers can win tomorrow. Big test for them. If Clippers can control the pace and hit lights out and match the Pacers' defense, it'll be a second win on this grueling road trip.

Honestly I think if we play "our" game tomorrow we should be good. Need JJ to shoot like he did against Dallas to speak the floor. I think Clippers will "get up" for that game and will preform.

This was a bad shooting night for us, and i would rather a bad shooting night during this game than tomorrow. We should be highly competitive tomorrow

Would have been funny if Blake and 'melo had "traded" jerseys at the end of the game like they do in soccer, just as a poke at Broussard.

Great win by the Clippers. Started off sloppy, but they pulled it out in the end.

Speaking of sloppy, NBA.com's video recap of the game said the Clippers lost against Dallas. Apparently, it was the Clippers, not Dallas, that blew a 17 point lead on Wednesday. :\

Very winnable game. we are doing great in Paul's absence. it's just a shame that we can't gain ground on the top thre:OKC, SA, and Portland. Especially OKC, they lose Westbrook and don't miss a beat. That Reggie Jackson is amazing

Interesting thing: Article about Clippers' win last night is on the front page of the Orange County Register's Sports section. Lakers' win was just a little itty-bitty note on the front. It used to be the other way around just recently. Nice to see Clippers getting a little more respect.
